The Wild Salmon Policy requires a systematic process to organize all Pacific salmon streams and lakes into geographic units for conservation and specification of the means to monitor abundance and distribution of Pacific salmon within those units over time.

Summary List and Maps of Conservation Units in BC [PDF]
Description: This document contains table summaries and maps of the Conservation Units in British Columbia for each of the seven species-types covered by the Wild Salmon Policy. These are sockeye-river type [SER], sockeye-lake type [SEL], Chinook [CK], chum [CM], coho [CO], pink-odd year [PKO], and pink-even year [PKE]. The CU names, acronyms, and index numbers are used in the List of Sites for Conservation Units (below) to identify the CUs.

List of Sites for Conservation Units

List of Sites for Conservation Units [PDF]
Description: This workbook contains lists of the sites used to describe the diversity of Pacific salmon in British Columbia. For each conservation unit, there is a list of one or more sites where salmon are known to or are believed to have successfully reproduced. The biological characteristics of those salmon and/or the geographical characteristics of the site were used to characterize the conservation unit. A site is a place where salmon have been regularly seen, counted or sampled. A site is not a population in any sense of that word. Sites range in geographic scope from side-channels or small tributaries of small creeks up to major rivers. The presence of a specific place in these lists implies only that there exists some easily accessible information about salmon in that place. More importantly, the absence of a specific place from the lists does not mean and cannot be construed as meaning that salmon are not persistently present there.
